I prayed for this: a modest swatch of land where I could garden, an ever-flowing spring close by, and a small patch of woods above the house. The gods gave all I asked and more. I pray for nothing more, O Mercury, but that these blessings last my life's full term.

On St. Thomas again
I'll be here for six weeks. T has requested that I keep an additional blog while I am on St. Thomas, so I have created my St. Thomas Notebook. It should be more picture-heavy. It's been a long day.
I grew up on a hillside in the Virgin Islands, overlooking farms and the Atlantic Ocean. Now I reside in Boston, but I live in Jaffrey, NH in 250-year-old farm house on a hillside at the foot of Mount Monadnock.
